What would you do with your money?

[Alpha1]

I'd probably spend it on fags, booze, strippers, backing horses. And squander the rest.

Amen brother

I miss the 90's aswell.......

 

[Jodo]

I'd build a time machine.

Then get into collecting arcade machines again

 

[cliff_poole]

pro audio equipment vintage mics and guitars,

Same here, that's exactly what I used to buy before I got in to this hobby. My garage would now be a recording studio rather than a game room too.

And another one here.

In fact, my living room already looks like a guitar shop and the dining room, an arcade. You can never have too many guitars, I am even forming a shopping list in my head as I type this

.

Next year I promised the wife I'd put all my spare cash into getting the loft extension completed.... it's gonna be a long year

Of course, if you somehow arrange to not have any spare cash, then that's an easy promise to keep.

 

[Guests]

Easy.....grabbing one of these next

 

[Pacman83]

Use £1500, rent a fook off gas guzzling convertible muscle car and get your ass to Funspot in June.

 

[Alpha1]

Audi R8 or Ferrari F430 for me

 

[IndyJones]

Audi R8 or Ferrari F430 for me

Nice, I'm sure you could afford one of each if you sell off your collection of arcade related clobber

 

[Muppz]

I'd spend it finishing this bugger off, 6 years and still not drivable.

 

[Guests]

^ Awesome project!

 

[playoldgames]

Also probably PA gear and lighting - But as I've already shelled out on a load of stuff for my band over the years, arcade collecting is actually a cheaper alternative

If no limit on spending...

I`d buy the original Virtuality Building in Leicester, and restart the Vr craze from its original home!

I`d also fund the Johnny 5 project, to finish that.

And last but not least, bigger premises for Retro Computer Museum!

And another addition....

I`d build an Oblivion Roller Coaster on the land behind my house

 

[Muppz]

WOW @Muppz
what engine is this baby?V8?

Yes, V8 fuel injected completely rebuilt, over-bored, hotter cam, solid lifters (higher revs), bigger valves, uprated oil pump and ARP studs/bolts to stop it flying apart. Took a while to source parts as it had to be pre 1984 so I don't have to comply with the strict emissions. It will have 2 x original donor power to weight ratio.

Custom built straight through exhaust comes in 1dB below the legal limit, Won't be the BHP I could have got from a new LS engine but enough for starters, its been a long time since I drove a rear wheel drive and I'd hate to lose the back end with 500BHP under me

 

[simon_m74]

ooooo

I`d also build a replica BTTF Delorean ( real time machine if poss )

X-wing Fighter

Millenium Falcon

A Bat Cave - with all vehicles ( from the Dark Night series - tho Micheal Keatons batmobile was good too)

And I want Tony Stark`s workshop

 

[niknak]

I'd learn to fly.

I wish!!!!!!
I`m just £21,250 short - anyone wanna donate ? lol

 

[guddler]

Aside from the obvious movie tie in, and the funky doors, are they actually any good to drive as cars ???

Seems to me that it's just an awful lot of money for an awful lot of trouble.
